Step-by-step preparation

1. Brewing and cooling espresso: Brew a strong espresso in a shot glass and let it cool. This is important to prevent the ice from melting too quickly while shaking.

3. Add ingredients: Pour the espresso, vodka, coffee liqueur and Torani Vanilla Syrup into the shaker.

4. Shake it!: Close the shaker tightly and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds. It is important that the drink is mixed well and gets a frothy layer.

5. Pour: Pour the Espresso Martini through a fine mesh strainer into a chilled martini glass. This will ensure a silky smooth texture without any ice chunks.

6. Garnish: Place three coffee beans on the foam – a classic way to finish the Espresso Martini and add a little extra aroma.
